Hoya carnosa Hoya mindorensis, Sydney, Australia.. Hoya is a genus of over 500 species of plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, commonly known as waxflowers. [2] Plants in the genus Hoya are mostly epiphytic or lithophytic vines, rarely subshrubs, with leathery, fleshy or succulent leaves, shortly tube-shaped or bell-shaped flowers with five horizontally spreading lobes, the flowers in ...
Overwatering and underwatering are, hands down, the most common causes of peace lily leaves turning yellow, and these two issues can cause leaf drop and wilting, too.
Leaves are generally 1.7–2.2 cm in length and 1.3–1.8 cm in width. Previous to the discovery of Hoya minutiflora, H. bilobata had the smallest recorded flowers of a Hoya. The flower clusters, or umbels, of H. bilobata have light pink petals that spread apart, with the tips curving upwards, to expose their yellow/pink central crowns.
Hoya carnosa var. compacta. A variant of Hoya, Hoya carnosa var. compacta [8], is known as the Hindu rope plant, and is characterized by its folded, curled leaves, which grow along vines resembling ropes. The inflorescences of this variant tend to take on a pinkish color.
Hoya australis is a succulent climbing vine to subshrub that typically reaches a height of 4–10 m (13–33 ft). It has fleshy or leathery, elliptic, oblong, egg-shaped or more or less round leaves up to 150 mm (5.9 in) long and 120 mm (4.7 in) wide.
Hoya obscura is a fast-growing, climbing species of Hoya in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, found in the Philippines. [1] The plant's many aerial roots (which the vine produces along its entire length) will gradually adhere to vertical surfaces nearby, such as buildings, trees or poles, acting as anchors and enabling the plant to receive better sun exposure away from the ground.
Nitrogen deficiencies also cause leaves to remain small, and drop prematurely, resulting in less photosynthesis occurring in the plant, and fewer, smaller tubers can form for harvest. Research done by Yara International has shown that there is a direct correlation between tuber size and yield, and the amount of plant-available nitrogen in the soil.
Columnist Bill Lamont noticed that some of his trees looked like October foliage in August.
